Happy Memorial Day!
While our staff is enjoying a day off from the farm, we’ll be playing a bit of catch up the rest of the week.
This week’s share will bring:
+ Kohlrabi. While this vegetable may be unfamiliar to many, it can become an unexpected favorite for some. Bonus that it holds reliably well in storage in your fridge. Stay tuned for recipes and tips in our newsletter this week.
+ Spinach! Yes more spinach. This wonderful green won’t last long into the summer and is growing faster than expected. So we are giving it out in back to back weeks. Leaves will be slightly smaller than the first batch. If you don’t think you’ll be able to go through it all fresh, this is an easy one to saute extras of and freeze.
+ Red Romaine Lettuce head
+ Dill or Cilantro fresh herb bunch
+ Kale
+ Sugar Snap Peas…! Fingers crossed.
Coming soon: Broccoli, Summer Squash, Green Onions, Beets, Turnips…
Good news: we have our first you-pick crop available to harvest starting on Tuesday during normal farm hours! Raspberries are ripening quite early. These raspberries are not in the standard you-pick field. Please find a staff member to assist and orient you. This is their first full year producing so we cannot be sure of how much fruit load they will bear or how long the berries will be available. Blackberries will soon follow.
Note that we are netting the berries to keep unwanted bugs (and birds) out. Please be sure to step under the net to harvest and replace any pavers removed to hold down the edges of the netting on the ground. There are two varieties planted and one of them (on the east side) is thorny, so you may want gloves handy. Review you-pick guidelines in your CSA Member Guide. Please also remember to bring your own containers for harvest and be considerate of others! Thank you.
